We report the first case of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) caused by Actinobaculum massiliense. A 53-year-old woman attended the emergency department with symptoms compatible with a PID episode, finally resolved by intramuscular antibiotic treatment. Actinobaculum sp. was isolated by culture, and A. massiliense was confirmed by matrix assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Only a few cases of A. massiliense infections have been reported, and the pathogenesis of infections by these bacteria is poorly understood. The introduction of new diagnostic methods into hospital routines will improve the detection of new and little-studied pathogens.

Risk Factors for Delayed (>30 Days) Readmission Following Rectal Cancer Surgery.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Section of Surgical Sciences, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee. Electronic address:
Introduction: Unplanned, delayed readmissions (>30 ds) following oncologic surgeries can increase mortality and care costs and affect hospital quality indices. However, there is a dearth of literature on rectal cancer surgery. Hence, we aimed to assess the risk factors associated with delayed readmissions following rectal cancer surgery to improve targeted interventions, patient outcomes, and quality indices.

Typical Meckel diverticulum on 99mTcO4- scintigraphy usually appears early in the dynamic imaging in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, without change of location during the study. We report a case of pathology-proven Meckel diverticulum a 7-year-old boy, which appeared only on the later part of the 99mTcO4- study in the midline upper pelvis which gradually changed location during the study.

A Rare Case of Peritoneal Mesothelioma Detected by 18F-AlF-NOTA-Octreotide PET/CT.
Clin Nucl Med
January 2025
From the Department of Nuclear Medicine (PET-CT Center), National Cancer Center, National Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
We present a case of 37-year-old man with multiple masses in the abdominal and pelvic cavity who underwent 18F-AlF-NOTA-octreotide PET/CT. The masses demonstrated heterogeneously increased uptake on 18F-AlF-NOTA-octreotide PET/CT and were suggestive of neuroendocrine tumor. However, the histopathological examinations confirmed the masses to be peritoneal mesothelioma.

Introduction and importance: Extrapelvic endometriosis, confined exclusively to the body of the rectus abdominis muscle, is a rare form of abdominal wall endometriosis. While its etiopathology remains unclear, it is often diagnosed in healthy women who present with atypical symptoms and localization unrelated to any incision site, or in the absence of a history of endometriosis or previous surgery. Presentation of the case: Here, we describe a unique case of intramuscular endometriosis of the rectus abdominis muscle in a healthy 39-year-old Caucasian woman.
